It's always been my understanding that jacarandas flower in Queensland in October, New South Wales in November, Victoria in December and Tasmania in January. I love the way they flower consecutively as you go further south.

I always said that one day I will plan a trip from north to south, following the jacaranda seasons.

I went to the city by train today. Nothing at all visible on jacaranda front till St Leonards going down. A couple of shivery looking blooms perhaps at Artarmon but nothing at all for all the way really up to here from St Leonards. I think the unseasonable cold weather and the gale force winds have frightened them all.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of your jacaranda all covered in blooms, I've never seen one before. (sure, i could google it, but where's the fun and anticipation in that, i ask you?) I am loving all the pictures of plants and flowers, they're such a delicious change from the weather in these parts.
